Featured Speakers:
This session will directly address the need and demand that brands have to have a direct connection with their shoppers. We will examine both the obstacles and the opportunities to do that in this current environment. After over a year of massive life disruptions, people want to head out again to eat, shop, and gather. Certainly, that creates new opportunities for brands to make and re-establish genuine connect with their audiences, but what are the rules of engagement in this post-pandemic era? What will grab attention and convert potential buyers as they engage the world once again? Meggie will provide a glimpse into the anxiety, resilience, and hope people have built up over the last year and reflect on what that means for brands seek to engage and convert shoppers. Expect to walk away with insights for you to fuel your brand activation, including how consumer optimism affects messaging, what the implications are for the in-store experience, the role of deals and special offers and anticipated trends in consumer expectations.
